For example, it would probably be wise to place a limit on the number of names that one person can register. Also, at what stage in the development of the program can the name be registered: when it is 10% finished (like mine; what if I never finish); 90% finished (so close; a shame to lose the name); 100% finished (and actively playing). Just some thoughts. Mark
